Deepcool cooler with this intimidating name is very large and heavy, and on top of everything take over three PCI-E slots next to it and is quite expensive. However, its cooling efficiency is truly unbeatable. Today we are going to talk about the second revision of this remarkable product.

Design and Functionality

The nickel-plated Dracula has 12 copper heat pipes that go out of the copper base and pierce the two individual heatsink sections.

The pipes are 6 millimeters in diameter. They go out of the base, six to each side. There is a slim auxiliary heatsink above the cooler’s base.

The bigger section consists of 53 aluminum fins whereas the smaller section, of 31 fins. The fins are 0.45 millimeters thick and soldered to the pipes 2 millimeters apart from each other.

The whole heatsink measures 254x100x44 millimeters. The following drawing shows the details:

The heatsink is quite heavy at 556 grams. The fins are shaped and positioned in such a way that the top of the heatsink has a variable height.

This is supposed to reduce resistance to the air flow and keep the cooler efficient at low speeds. The heat pipes pierce the heatsink in a straight line. They are spaced 9 to 11 millimeters from each other.

The fins, heat pipes and cooler base are all soldered to each other, so the whole arrangement is very robust and solid.

The pipes are laid in the base 1 to 1.5 millimeters from each other.

The contact spot of the revised Dracula has a round protrusion which is meant to touch the low-profile die of AMD’s new GPUs. The original Dracula had a mirror-like base, but the new revision shows a rather mediocre finish:
